GEM Premier 5000 PAK, Part No. 00055360004. — Reason: Confirmed customer complaints indicating that GEM PAKs (cartridges) for the GEM Premier 5000 may experience an increased incidence of Process Control Solution Not Detected (PCSND) errors during warm-up, including consecutive occurrences, resulting in GEM PAK ejection and requiring insertion of a new GEM PAK. iQM2 is an active quality process control program designed to provide continuous monitoring of the entire testing process. Thus, if a GEM PAK completes AutoPAK Validation following warm-up, it may remain in use. Consecutive GEM PAK ejections during warm-up may prolong turnaround times, potentially delaying results. In such cases, patient management may require reassessment once results are available. While many GEM PAKs continue to perform as intended, consecutive ejections may increase the likelihood of operational disruption, highlighting the importance of advance planning where feasible to help minimize impact. — Status: Ongoing

cobas pro integrated solutions with cobas c 503 analytical units: cobas pro sample supply unit, material number 08464502001 cobas pro SSU, material number 09205632001 Affected Assays: (Product Name/ Catalog Number/ Application Code/ Application Short Name) 1. Cystatin C Gen.2 08105596190 20510 CYSC2 2. Ferritin Gen.4 08057648190 20571 FER4X 3. Lipoprotein (a) Gen.2 08106126190 20861 LPA2X 4. Lipoprotein (a) molarity 08106126160 20864 LPA2-X 5.

Lambda Free Light Chains Partner Channel 08896631190 21430 LFLC 8. fCAL turbo Partner Channel 08910367190 21490 FCAL — Reason: Software defect, which allows the system to accept erroneous, non-monotonous calibrations for Spline-type assays. Cobas pro integrated solutions is an automated analyzer, intended for running qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative clinical chemistry and immunochemistry assays, as well as ion-selective measurements. When an erroneous calibration is active, the instrument fails to calculate new values and instead repeats the last successfully calculated result from any Spline-type assay for all subsequent measurements, leading to identical and erroneous patient and QC results. The defect could lead to patients receiving erroneous lab results, which could result in a remote risk of serious adverse health consequences. The following assays use spline type calibration and are affected by this issue: Cystatin C Gen.2, Ferritin Gen.4, Lipoprotein (a) Gen. 2, Lipoprotein (a) molarity, Vancomycin Gen.3, Kappa Free Light Chains Partner Channel, Lambda Free Light Chains Partner Channel, and fCAL turbo Partner Channel. — Status: Ongoing
